Natural handmade cordage, that's where it all started. Excellent video. Fun Friday with Felix. Thanks for all the Great info. Bravo

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for your super nice feedback and for your support every friday!

It is very good that you give credit where credit is due.

Felix is the kind of fella you want to hang out with. Seems like a genuine good guy. Take care buddy.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks for this wonderful compliment!

[@poplarridge9719]

Makes handy cordage. I've heard this called a withee. I have made it mostly from hazel, but also had success with young maple. I have been able to work through stiff parts where an offshoot branch comes out by using a smooth rock or a stick. I'll put the piece I'm working on a platform of flat wood or stone and gently tap the bark to break it loose from the inner fibers. This should be a common topic on bushcraft and survival channels, but nobody talks about it. Thanks for sharing it, Felix!

[@FelixImmler]

Felix! You are the reason why I after about 25 years of using only a Leatherman, ordered myself a Victorinox! You have SO many ingenious ideas and wonderful hacks🤩 Keep up the good work!

[@VinlandAlchemist]

I have never seen a video of yours that was a waste of time... it's all very useful, and necessary for good purpose! This one addresses a very serious need for bushcrafters, and the information is both simple, yet very valuable. There are many bushcrafting channels that I subscribe to, but yours has LONG been (and continues to be!) my topmost favourite! Thank you for this! 🙂👍

[@FelixImmler]

Wowwwwwww your comment make me happy! Thanks for your compliment!

@@FelixImmler Ive been wondering... have you ever heard of a "Chippewa kitchen"? Do a KZbin search for it - I bet if anyone could make one with just a Swiss Army Knife, it would be you! Good idea?? 🙂

[@richardmacyczko1580]

Outstanding!!!! So many bushcrafters use paracord but few show how to use natural cordage. Buy the way TA Outdoors mentioned you in one of his videos. This is the third bushcrafter that has mentioned you. You are ver popular around the bushcraft and survival community. Thank you teacher. Respect from Florida US 🌴

[@FelixImmler]

Hello Richard. Thank you so much for this interesting hint!!

[@pnyarrow]

Hi Felix. Noch einmal super video Slicht, einfach '"and 'straight' to the point". Bleib gesund. LG. Nigel

[@mrfitz96]

Our stone age ancestors made the job of twisting plant fibre into cordage quicker & easier with a simple tool. You make a wood or bone handle with 1 to 4 holes drilled in it. Push your material through the holes and twist as you feed It through. The increased leverage easily breaks apart tough fibres and the multi holed version can automatically twist strands together.

[@victorzaidan6493]
